Molecular level understanding of permeation of nanoparticles through human skin
establishes the basis for development of novel transdermal drug delivery systems and …

Recent experimental studies suggest that nanosized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are able to
penetrate into the deeper layer (epidermis and dermis) of rat and human skin. However, the …

Nanoparticle-based drug carriers are being pursued intensely to overcome the skin barrier
and improve even hydrophilic or macromolecular drug delivery into or across the skin …

The interactions between skin and colloidal gold nanoparticles of different physicochemical
characteristics are investigated. By systematically varying the charge, shape, and …

Drug penetration through the skin is significant for both transdermal and dermal delivery.
One mechanism that has attracted attention over the last two decades is the transport …

Background/purpose The skin plays an important role as a protective barrier against toxic
environments and also is a route of drug administration. In spite of evidence for and interest …

The study of interactions between Au nanostructures and living cells is a fundamental aspect
that can be applied for promising applications in nanomedicine. In the present work, we …

An interesting nanoscale interfacial phenomenon mediated by gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs)
was found, in that co-administration with Au-NPs enables percutaneous delivery of protein …

The ability of nanoparticles to penetrate the stratum corneum was the focus of several
studies. Yet, there are controversial issues available for particle penetration due to different …
